Has anyone else though of increasing the efficiency of an engine using them? If you don't know what they are.

This is a good research paper done on it.

Using an idea like this you wouldn't be for all out power. It would bring the power output per displacement down. I think it would be neat to play around with this on a 2.5 tall block. Use some flat tops and a milled deck to bring the cr up to 11 to 1. Delay the intake valve closing to around 90 deg BTDC to make the dynamic compression ratio 7.1 or so. To increase the power output per displacement you could run forced induction. Anyone have any thoughts, could be a fun little project.
